Technical Assistance 

Perinatal mental health conditions impact 1 in 5 individuals during pregnancy and postpartum, yet 75% of those who screen at risk never receive treatment. Many organizations, whether in healthcare, social services, or workplaces, struggle to implement comprehensive, patient-centered approaches to perinatal mental health care.

​

By partnering with Moms Mental Health Initiative (MMHI) for Technical Assistance, your organization can:

• Enhance care coordination and referral pathways

• Improve patient-centered approaches to assessment and follow-up

• Reduce siloed systems and build stronger collaborations

• Expand access to peer support and wraparound services

• Increase the use of effective treatments while reducing crisis-driven interventions

MMHI provides expert guidance, training, and strategic support to ensure that organizations can deliver high-quality, compassionate, and accessible care for perinatal individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
